These are all very well-thought out rules. When my boys and their cousins were younger they learned to recite this litany before we ventured out in public: nopushingnoshovingnopullingnopinchingnoyellingnorunningnotouchingnoblowingnosmackingnofartingnoelbowingnokickingnopunching. . . They loved coming up with THAT ONE THING we adults would never have thought of.

Jane, that is awesome. Daleks have never been so cuddly.

Handflapper, I have also gotten that "you never said we couldn't build a Maylasian man-trap!" garbage before. Makes me wanna!

I should not have read this at 4 in the morning. It's hard on one's bladder to stifle belly laughs. Just sayin'

Love this!

Great post! I am so grateful I have the only 10 yr old girl who does not like Justin Bieber – The High School Musical/Zach Efron stage was more than one mom should have to endure!

Chloe

I think these are all very reasonable.

NotaSupermom

I am nothing if not reasonable.

Robin

WOMAN! You have a gift. That was even funny the second time!!!

I love this list! I have a similar No Tatteling list that I posted! I especially loved #1

NotaSupermom

Thanks, Robin!

Echo, I'd love to read your tattling list. Can you link me?

Love this! So good to see a parent teaching real values, especially about the Disney Radio app, to their children.

Stopping by and following your blog from the alexa hop 🙂 Have a great week

I love being a mother, but I’m pretty sure I’m not very good at it. People tell me I’m a good mom, but I wish they wouldn’t pat my shoulder when they said it.
I have four kids at home and one husband, who is Ricky to my Lucy. He puts up with late dinners, occasional clean underpants shortages, and my madcap schemes.
